TIE EIGHTH or .L1Nn1RY.

The Jackson Club, Democratic or
ganzaiion supcriog to anything we have
ever before had in Memphis, has signiled
its purpose TO celebrate the anniversary Of
the great victory won by Jackson and his
veterans from Tennessee at New Orleans
ON the Sth OF January, 1914. II is happy
iorcthought. The people of Tennessee,
Memphis especially, have left the eulogising
Of the great Democrat too long TO those OF
other States and II is about time that
here, in the city which he founded and
fostercd, his praises should be sung and
his eulogy be spoken, and Democrats
should be gathered from all the States OF
the Union TO renew, around the festal
board, their VOWS Of fealty to the princi-
pies iirst formulated by Jefferson, and so
honestly, hononbly aud irrcsistibly en-
forced by cold Hickory" No other
man after Washington has so im-
pressed himself upon our country "a

passionate devotion that was impatient of
the presence OF the British and the Span

happiest invention in government that the

must and shall he preserved" was the ex-
preston Of q rooted conviction that il was

time the most harmonious form of govern

England. lie held il, and rightly, to be
a dolusion aud snare. Individual liberty,
he knew, was the handspring Of the public
well being and well doing, and he stcnly
set his face against anything that looked
like special legislation. The extmor-
binary will by dint OF which lac
achieved 80 many victories on the
field was the force that made him
a dominating power in the politics Of the
country, and one Of the most successful Of
our Presidents. lie was a noble man, q
type Of the American Democrat athis best.
lie was the first Democrat OF his day, and
is 10y all odds the most conspicuous figure
in the history OF our State. Around him
arc grouped many great, strong naturcd
and equally brave and courageous men
Their names should be- rescued from oh
security, and in conjunction with his should
be recalled with especial marks Of patriotic
favor and delight on the anniversary Of the
day when with him they added fresh lau-
rcls to their country's glory. The jackson
club have done well in taking a iirst step
toward q genuine Democratic revival upon
the 9Th Of January next. II isa step that
will strengthen the public confidence in
their organization, and 20 far 10 reconcile

THE decision OF the Supreme Court in
the Virginia bond case checks a tendency
on the part of federal court judges TO make
light Of State courts and State laws. The
timely and emphatic rcassertion OF the
doctrine of State sovereignty puts an end
to all this. Federal court judges, in the
future will be as careful in avoiding en-
croaching upon the jurisdiction OF State
courts MS they have been careless TO the
contrary in the past.
